My "Essential PSP Game List" -
Lumines - play for 5 minutes or 5 hours. Next-Gen Tetris.
Wipeout Pure - IMO, shows the graphics power of the PSP the best. Solid game play as well.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2: Remix (THUG2) - Great gameplay, great soundtrack.
Twisted Metal: Head On - Some of the best use of the PSP's online WiFi capability. Plus I just love TM.
Coded Arms - I almost forgot about this one, cuz I'm not big on console FPS's. I haven't played it much, but everyone that has it loves it. The PSP's version of Halo, it's all about the multiplayer.
Also if you're into Anime the PSP has some anime UMD's out now or coming out soon... off the top of my head Samurai Champloo and Appleseed are out.
The games are saved to your memory stick (Memory Stick Duo to be exact). Your system should've come with a 32MB stick, that will be large enough to hold your game saves. However if you wanna play music or download movies, you're gonna need a larger stick. Sizes are 32mb, 64mb, 128mb, 256mb, 512mb, and the coveted 1gb and 2gb sticks, going for ~$120 USD and ~$300 USD, respectively.
One last note - as of now all the games are NOT region encoded (i.e. JAP games work in N.American PSP's) but the movies ARE region encoded just like DVD's (N.America is Region 1, Japan Region 2).
